What reading level is Brother Scots book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The men were beaten. But it was agreed that Hardie had done his work well, and the reputation he had acquired brought him an invitation from the Ayrshire miners which induced him to leave Cadzow for Old Cumnock, the village that was his home for the rest of his life. His migration to Ayrshire was quickly signalised by the " tattie strike" of 1881, so called because the strikers, having no union and no funds, had to subsist on potatoes supplied by the charity of the local shopkeepers and farmers.... On these scanty rations, plentifully 169 BROTHER SCOTS seasoned with the earnest and sometimes im- pressive exhortations of their leader, they stuck it out for ten weeks. A glorious August morning and the Strains of a brass band had heartened them for the struggle, and " the smiling of fortune beguiling " in the guise of an exception- ally fine autumn encouraged them to continue it. But the stars were against them. A prolonged diet of potatoes is a poor provision against a Scotch November, and with the approach of winter the strike collapsed.
